these will work with either the W series 55 through59 non turbo Toyota trans OR the pre 93 short shaft R 150 and R 151 Toyota trans, both using the original Sub flywheel, pressure plate, starter and clutch fork with a supplied throw out bearing

awesome i can not wait to see the final product then.
ive been rwd for about three years now and ill be making a lot more power over winter so im not to sure how much longer the ej tranny will hold up to the power and rear wheel drive

the details are worked out, the wall thickness is ok and the draft angle is worked out on both sides of the housing, this should shrink about 1% and then I will test machine out a raw casting and it should all be good

I will probably have the casting back in my hands within a week and a half, then tune that out and include the starter pocket, then the next run will be for delivery, so Cristmas is doable IF everything falls in place, how much snow did you guys get?

I will be building the remote shifter this next month

good times there.

no real snow to be excited about. the big stuff missed portland and went north.

i have been working on a remote shifter also. its all based on the subaru shifter, its not like probably the most beautiful thing, but it should work. but if you have better ideas, im all for seeing what you got going in your head.

let me know on this and I will build a spacer plate so you can bolt the R 154 Supra turbo trans or the A 15 Jeep trans to this housing, plenty of strength for racing

ANY clutch build to suit the Subaru engine will work in this unit, just the spline in the disc needs to change, see Dan at compition clutch

I will keep that in mind. as that will probably be a good idea.

there were 2 different styles of pressure plate. push and pull. the pivot on that bellhousing will only work with push-style. All turbo transmissions use a pull. so off-the-shelf clutch kits are mostly the other kind. There are options, just not a ton.

We'll see. a lot of other things have to happen first...

No really how much power you thinking you goiing to make that push style clutch isn't going to take?

Go over to legacy central and talk to red devil about his NA push style clutch in his twin charged legacy wagon.

You're thinking the pull style is a superior clutch pressure plate, its just a different style, and the NA push clutch can be made and for about the same money to hold damn near as much power as you think you can make.

you are correct about turbo pull style aplications, but on the LS 1 Chevy, they changed back to push style after trying pull style, its a cool idea, but not practical, kinda like reverse cooling the pull style was also engineered around the main bearing , in particular the thrust main bearing, if you are going to change from push style to pull style you should be sure your crankshaft main thrust bearing will support the movement
